Our journey begins! If you haven't yet heard we, Courtney and Trina, are going an adventure!! We will be tramping all over the north and south islands of the beautiful country of New Zealand for the next three months! The idea of this excursion has been growing in our hearts and minds for the past year. We have been planning, praying, scheming, researching for what seems like ages!! We are so excited and thrilled and over the top enthusiastic and cannot wait for what lies ahead!! :D
The adventures of our escapade, include mainly farm work through Farmer Friends of New Zealand, where we will be staying on family owned farms working alongside them in exchange for free accommodation. Also, exploring God's creation in the southern hemisphere, peeking our heads into hobbit holes in Matamata, observing traditional Maori festivities, hoping to witness rugby matches and roller derby bouts, discovering new foods, and simply investing ourselves in the culture of New Zealand. We look forward to learning about ourselves, our Creator, and the world as we know it!
Courtney began her journey in mid December traveling form Michigan to Montana, where she had a lovely Christmas with her family. This last week, she said farewell to the Beautiful Montana countryside and chooed-chooed her way over the Rocky Mountains safely arriving in Portland, OR where she met up Trina. This coming Saturday will see us on a plane headed to L.A. for a relaxing time on the sunny beach of the California coast. From there we shall spread our wings and soar across the ocean blue, leaving the comforts of home for the next three months.
Stay tuned for the continuation of this fellowships adventure!!! Maybe we'll even destroy a ring...or two. ;)
